At this time, how- ever, a daily or twice-daily spraying with clear water may be substituted for the nicotine spraying, if the weather is favorable. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. Examining Committees.

Johnson, Sec 'y. PROFIT IN TULIPS. Grown in America. Most of the tulip bulbs used in this country are imported, but good tulips can be grown here at a profit, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture, in department bulletin 1082, "The Production of Tulip Bulbs," by Dr. David Griffiths. The bulbs are already being grown in commercial quantities by three or four companies in southern Michigan, by an association in the Wil- lamette valley, of Oregon, by a firm in

The Department of Agriculture has been growing them successfully on Puget sound, in the state of Washington. "There is no limit," says the bul- letin, "to the quantity of bulbs which it is possible to produce in the United States. We have climates that are un- excelled, regions with an abundant moisture supply from October to June, dry summers, "fertile sands, inexhausti- ble loams and deep, friable silts. The tulips already produced experimentally by the department are as good as the best. They bed, force, produce and reproduce 'normally under American conditions. The industry of bulb pro- duction on a large scale, however, must develop slowly, for experience is neces- sary, and it is probable that for a long time the home-grown supply will be only supplementary to existing sources." Cultural Information Obtainable. The bulletin contains full discussions on the culture of tulips, harvesting the flowers and bulbs, packing, shipping, enemies, and performance records of many varieties. Summed up in small space, some of the rules for successful tulip culture laid down by the depart- ment are: Do not plant on lean soil; use the most available source of fer-
